I had a lot of request to go deeper into the world of Chinese acrobatics. Especially when it comes to Chaoyang Theatre, there is a huge lack of information in English. So I wrote up an introduction to tell you all about this brilliant and photographic show in Beijing. Chaoyang Theatre Beijing is a must-see […]

I’ve had some people ask me where I buy my camera equipment and the answer is usually something between surprising and inspirational. Because obviously I don’t simply just go to a camera shop and grab some basic equipment for my needs that are much more demanding. In fact, I have an interesting habit of finding […]

It’s time for me to step out of my cave and get some more blog work done. Life of a photographer does not simply always consist of “roses” and nothing more. There is much more to it, like running around a lot and socialising a lot in between takes. And for me, it often requires […]

The world is endlessly full of things to take photographs of. If you have the skill, you can make any object you photograph interesting or an element of giving perspective to the world. This is why the challenge of being a good photographer is not just about learning to take good photographs, but to build […]

I happen to have some connections within the clothing industry so I get to see a lot of […]

I’m a big fan of Shanghai. It’s one of the most polished and fun cities in the whole of China. What’s best about the city is the nightlife, with so many venues to choose from that I just have to keep on visiting the city. With a never ending thirst however, I manage to get […]

I’m happy to delight everyone with a few amazing shots of wide, beautiful landscapes from my travels in China. China is full of beautiful nature, actually most of it is! Just it’s not that known. Also to travel in the countryside is not that easy if you don’t speak Chinese. I’ve had the pleasure of my […]

Some news I noticed that some serious brouhaha has been stirred up over the Peking Opera bikini pictures. I found the pictures very though provoking as a neutral participant in the issue. As a photographer of an objective view you have no limits to creating amazing works of art. A dogmatic view will proclaim such art […]
